sensors can collect traffic information to optimize signal timing, smooth
traffic flow, and reduce emissions. These changes will increase convenience,
productivity, and safety, and reduce costs.
In agriculture, sensors can provide the data needed to analyze soil, crop,
water, machinery, and environmental conditions, make better decisions,
and increase food production to serve a rapidly-growing global population.
In healthcare, connected systems can broaden the reach of patient care by
making it more accessible to underserved communities, especially those in
rural areas.
In manufacturing, distribution, and logistics, industrial automation can
improve productivity and lower costs by allowing machines to communicate
and learn from each other. Entire factory systems can be interconnected and
managed by a centralized system that will enable products to be tracked
across the entire production journey, from manufacturing and distribution to
end user.
As legacy companies—and even entire sectors—are transformed, creative
destruction will bring new companies and business models, innovative
products and services, and numerous inventions and technologies. 5G will
be the catalyst that accelerates the pace of change across society, fueling
economic growth in the coming decades and beyond.
“5G will be the catalyst that accelerates the pace of change across society,

In the Internet of Everything (IoE) era, connectivity will be pervasive—always
on, accessible anywhere and everywhere. People will interact with billions
of connected devices, sensors, machines, and vehicles to share massive
amounts of data, high-resolution images, and ultra-HD video. Holographic
avatars, 4K and 8K HD images, ultra-HD video, and virtual/augmented/mixed
reality can be experienced in real time to enhance education, training, sales,
communication, and sales and marketing activities.

that accelerates the pace
of change across society,
fueling economic growth
in the coming decades
and beyond.”
